2024 Norco Sight Review - Tested on Captain Ahab in Moab

- I was excited to review the 2024 Norco Sight as it's a 150mm (rear travel), high pivot bike that sits between the big trail bike and small enduro bike categories.
Being in Moab it only seemed fitting to test the Norco Sight on the Captain Ahab trail. Captain Ahab provide you with some great technical ups and fun chunky downs. Really a perfect test for a bike like the Sight!
PROS
High pivot design feels great on ups and downs! It's very supportive and provides a ton of traction without feeling like the bike is lengthening as it sits into the suspension.
Suspension feels very active in the chunky downs and can handle a lot more than I was throwing at it.
Cockpit is very comfortable and you feel right at home from the start.
Great build right out of the box! I would only change the saddle and brakes due to personal preference, but that's not needed at all.
The head tube angle provides confidence on the downs and actually the technical ups as well.
Great looking bike. This matters!
You can make this bike a 170mm (fork) and 160mm (shock) if you find yourself getting rowdy more often than not.
CONS
At 35.1 pounds the bike feels heavy. I could definitely get used to the weight, but it made the bike feel less poppy than my Revel Rail 29 when bunny hopping or hitting small kickers.

Damn boy! Every CZcamsr should watch this, every single aspect is perfect and I'm only 3/4 through 👍
Thanks Patrick! Cheers!
Ohlins is built for racing bet it was better on the dh at speed really looking at this bike but idk so many hard to choose lol great vid
So hard to choose! Are you able to ride this bike and see how it feels? I think that's the biggest thing for me. I have to ride them to know for sure.
@@TheVantasticLife think they have demos in Sedona just so hot lol
@@lifebehindbarsonemansstory2189 Totally worth it to ride before you buy! You can go in the morning 🙂, that's what our friends that live in Sedona are doing these days. Good luck!
Do you know what shock stroke length you would need to make it a 160 in the rear?
I don't, and Norco told me to reach out to my local dealer to get all the info.
Ok thanks I'll check into it
205x 60 trunnion saw it on the website
Thats set up long is S4 the xl?
For Norco there are 5 sizes. When I rented the bike I asked for a Large and they gave me Norco size 4. Here's bike link with the sizing. www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/all-mountain/sight/24-sight-C1/
